The Rediscovered Country: Heaven is More Familiar Than We Think

from A Stranger in the House of God · host John Koessler

Send us Fan Mail Shakespeare called death “the undiscovered country.” But its environs may be more familiar than we think.  The landscape of the undiscovered country is not as alien as we thought. Nor do we have to wait until we pass through the gates of death to catch a glimpse of its powers. In fact, if we take Scripture at its word, all those who are in Christ are already in residence there in some mysterious sense. Today's topic reflects the theme of John's latest book, On Things Above: The Earthly Importance of Heavenly Reality. You can order it now from Amazon. Dr. John Koessler is an award-winning writer and retired faculty emeritus of Moody Bible Institute.
